Well i didn't actually go to the radio broadcast but I did listen to last week's and this week's Swift News turning sacred cows into german sausage. And I heard part of the mythicist hour. I think the swift news was more to my liking because there elements of humor involved. However you were much too hard on the young boy who wanted to skip homework because the ten commandments were removed from his public school.

One day after the swearing-in ceremony, President Obama and Vice President Biden along with dignitaries and representatives from many faiths will attend the interfaith Inaugural National Prayer Service at the Washington National Cathedral. The service will feature prayers, readings, and musical performances. The event is by invitation only, but it will be streamed live at the National Cathedral’s website. The tradition of the National Prayer Service began in 1933 with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

The Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) explained that “The beginning of President Obama’s second term will be marked by the acknowledgement and celebration of the role of people of faith in American life. President Obama’s own faith has played an integral role in his life, his commitment to service and his presidency, and this important tradition will celebrate the values and diversity that make us strong.”

The Cathedral also has a special exhibit, “Presidents at the Cathedral,” chronicling the past visits of U.S. presidents over the Cathedral’s 105-year history. The exhibit which opened this month is available for Cathedral visitors in the nave and on the Cathedral’s website.

Hi, everyone! Just thought I'd introduce myself. I haven't actually been to any meetings or anything, but hopefully I'll be there on Sunday (does anyone know how long it usually goes? I might have to work in the afternoon). Pleasure to meet you all :)
